Wishful Thinking Kindle Edition

by James Butler (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 out of 5 stars 4 ratings
Gregory Flynn is a normal man. A normal man with regrets, at least until he discovers a genie. With this genie, however, he can only wish for things which don't battle the laws of physics and which don't directly affect other people. Stuck at a crossroad, Gregory documents his journey within a diary as he tries to stabilise his life and fight each new problem.

I'm a young (19) British author. I usually write quite quickly, and I have some big plans for future releases. I'm always looking to improve my craft, so I'd appreciate you leaving any reviews or ratings on any of my books following you reading them. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

    This book definitely gives meaning to nothing in life is free. Wasn't able to put this one down and trust me the ending doesn't disappoint!

    4.0 out of 5 stars unique twist on an old favorite
    Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2023
    The main character in this book is Gregory Flynn, and he is a connection to another of Butler’s works Identity Crisis. I love how the stories are all connected, even if it’s just a quick nod to another character from another book. It would make for a fun re-read to see if there are any other connections I missed!

    I enjoyed the diary format of this book. It was a nice change of pace from others books I’ve read recently. The entries skip a bit, not going exactly in order, and it’s a clever way to show that more has happened in the background, but the pages we see are the important ones. However, the font made it hard to read. I understand the reason behind the choice (the font looks like handwriting) but after a while it just became too much.

    Gregory finds a genie, and is allowed the usual three wishes. Only with this genie, the wishes have to be realistic (no flying) and they can’t affect other people (no world peace). I like the boundaries set with the wishes he can get granted, but I do feel like the rules are a bit overexplained. It would be nice to see Gregory more in the dark, so the ending hits a little harder.

    At first, the wishes work out will from Gregory. They help him live his best life, and help him make a difference in other people’s lives. He becomes very focused on working as an online therapist and designer, to an unhealthy extreme. After his third wish is granted, things go downhill fast for Gregory.

    The last chapter is a great twist that I won’t spoil here. Do yourself a favor and give this book a go, and maybe think about what your wishes would be. Hopefully yours aren’t as bad as Gregory’s!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great short book. Don't wish... Just read it.

    So this book I love how it is a diary sense format I guess you'd say. But also a fun book. I don't want to spoil anything but we'll just say I wish I found a genie.🙂 But if you like short reads I'd highly recommend this. There's a little surprise though in the out play of this. Great book.
